You are right abt the OHV V6 or V8 and SOHC or DOHC V6 or V8. I prefer a
OHV V8 engine over SOHC and DOHC engine is cuz of few parts put on the OHV engine togester, produce good torque power at low rpm, doesnt rev up over 6k rpm due to the size of piston and stroke. SOHC or DOHC engines are real easy flare up with little gas pedal effort, powerful, and poor torque ability.
The real headache is too many parts like timing chains tensioners, front timing covers in the SOHC or DOHC engine.
What if the timing chain in SOHC or DOHC engine, let go, what happen to the engine? Whoa. Wonder why the NASCAR use the OHV V8 engines?
Then COP should rules and better than EI and DIS because of few parts too.
What do you think of boxer engine? H is better than any Inline, any W and V6 for balance but V8 and I6 are okay.
Few students from college thought I own Porsche after I said my car use boxer engine. Oh man!
Here a picture and it looks simple and easy to repair. Correct?
